My $5,000 estimate was based on $900 for consult and I remember the Reprosource lady telling me the testing would be $4,000 if we didn't have insurance. I may not be remembering it correctly since they had so many different combinations of tests and various prices for regular insurance vs. HMO vs. none.

Sorry, I can't help with that one. If he uses Reprosource then he should be able to run the majority of the tests, although Braverman talks about how they are adding new tests to his stuff so he may have special tests that are just for him. Not sure.

It sounds like you want to go to Sher so I would just do it. Like you said it's a place to start and once you do a few tests you may find that there is no need for further testing.

For a long time, I only knew about the +ANA then after my last m/c the Rheumatologist did more testing and the second antibody popped up. At that point, I got scared and figured if we're going to have a baby we need to know if there is anything else going on.

Just another thought, there is an extensive genetic test you can do called 23andme for $99. That would tell you about all the blood clotting issues and lots of other stuff. It may help or open another can of worms. I've been thinking about doing it for fun.
